Graceling: A Chick Lit Wednesday Review
Graceling (2008) by Kristin Cashore is, in many ways, the fantasy novel I have been hoping to stumble upon all summer.
In the world of Graceling certain people are graced in their youth with a powerful ability. Some might call these Gracelings lucky, blessed even. But Katsa knows that her own devastating Grace of killing is more burden than blessing. Forced to do the bidding of her uncle, King of the Middluns, Katsa is dispatched to dole out tangible examples of the King's disfavor.
Katsa lives her life apart from the rest of the court in her uncle's castle, avoided both because of her fearsome Grace and her startling eyes–one blue and one green–that mark her as a Graceling. Though far from content, Katsa has reconciled herself to this life.
At least until she meets another Graceling, a prince called Po. Skilled in the art of combat, Po is the first worthy opponent Katsa has encountered. The prince might also be the first friend Katsa has made since her Grace first revealed itself.
Together, the two embark on an adventure the likes of which neither can imagine in search of a truth almost too diabolical to believe.
Katsa is a strong and complex character that readers are sure to adore and admire. She is also headstrong, almost to the point of absurdity. Her opinions on marriage and children are central to the plot and indeed to Katsa's identity. Still, by the end of Graceling I couldn't help but wonder, if two people love each other and know they want to be together, what is the harm in being married? Katsa says repeatedly that she won't compromise her freedom by marrying anyone which is a very difficult but admirable position to take. And yet. It seems to me that loving someone at all is a compromise whether you marry them or not.
The plot itself is no less compelling. Though I was sorry to see so little of Giddon (I took an instant liking to him as a character), it was a joy to read about Katsa and Po's blossoming relationship and to see Katsa come to terms with her Grace and the responsibility that comes with it. Cashore's villain is stunningly diabolical and cunning–so much so that I have to admit the ending did feel anti-climactic.
Graceling is everything a reader can hope for in a fantasy. Cashore's writing and her world building are utterly unique–the only disappointment is that I didn't think of it myself. The book is filled with action, fights, journeys, and even some romance. The setting, like the characters, are straightforward and evocative. Lienid particularly jumped off the page with Cashore's descriptions.

If you think Graceling is good, wait until you sink your teeth into Fire… Graceling's companion. Though he plays a small role, Cashore's villain is back (he is younger). And Cashore develops another believable and utterly beautiful world existing parallel to Katsa's world. I've read the galley but can't wait for the final print.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate. I have to ask, "If two people love each other and want to be together, what is the point of getting married?"
Personally, I'm not a fan of the institution. In a fantasy setting such as this one, where there are no legal remifications of divorce/separation, it makes less sense to me. (Was there a religious aspect to this book? I don't recall one and so I'm even less inclined to think of marriage as important.)
This aspect of the story made little or no impact on me so I'm having trouble recalling these elements of the story. It's… interesting that you associate love with compromising when that is exactly how I consider marriage. Sacrifices for love seem to me almost selfish (because it makes one feel good to see the other happy), while sacrifices for marriage are almost contractual, with marriage being an act of possession and actions become a matter of duty. I think our fundamental beliefs are different here and so, different opinions.
missprint on September 9, 2011 at 12:37 am said:
In retrospect (it's been a while since I read or thought in depth about this book) it wasn't the marriage as legal institution per se but also that Katsa couldn't even bring herself to just be with Po. I might be remembering wrong but I think Po went home and she went to her home kingdom as well and like they loved each other but couldn't even stay together . . . And granted I'm sure Cashore already knew there was a longer story arc in the works and perhaps we will see Katsa and Po in her last book in the trilogy but I thought it was strange that two characters with this deep bond couldn't find a way to be with each other–married or not. (Though again I might not be giving Cashore the benefit of the doubt and maybe ultimately they are?)
Nicki on September 9, 2011 at 10:02 pm said:
I'm also going to have to do some revisiting. It's been a while. I know Po was ashamed of his blindness, but I forget exactly how it ended. They certainly had issues navigating their relationship throughout. If they reappear in Bitterblue, I hope we see how they fared once Katsa settled into her true self.

We have just enjoyed a blissful weekend staying at Fieldgate near Selsey with our small Eriba caravan (Trolly Dolly). It was helped by perfect early June weather and the welcome and simple facilities were exactly what we needed for a chill out. It's a really small site close to Church Norton and enjoyable walk to the lovely shingle beach nearby. Go visit!!!


We are upgrading the Groundsure Homebuyers report and discontinuing the Groundsure Homebuyers Plus. All the features included in the Homebuyers Plus will now be incorporated into the original Homebuyers report which has been designed in collaboration with Conveyancers. Groundsure's Homebuyers report has now been enhanced and improved. Based on Land Registry polygons, with new features, improved layout and design and clearer navigation improving workflow for solicitors. The new Homebuyers reviews flood, contaminated land, ground stability and screens other environmental risks such as energy, transportation and planning to provide comprehensive environmental checks for a residential property.
The Homebuyers report will have a new RRP of £51.00 excl. VAT and customers will be getting all the benefits of a Homebuyers Plus but for £8.00 less!
The launch of Avista transformed the residential search market and continues to grow in popularity. The next natural step was the development of a product range bringing further clarity to environmental searches, so Groundsure has developed a suite of reports including Energy and Transportation. The Avista quality standard of detail, look, layout & navigation is replicated in this new Energy and Transportation report which has resulted in improved design, navigation and quality of data creating a premium quality search. The Groundsure Energy and Transportation is a new risk report utilising data only available from Groundsure. The report includes a comprehensive search of existing or planned energy and transport infrastructure covering either residential or commercial property transactions. Intelligently filtered and giving key next steps, this report identifies major transport projects (HS2, Crossrail 1 and 2), as well as their safeguarding areas, compensation schemes and other relevant environmental data (noise and visual impacts), active and historic railways and tunnels, including underground systems (London Underground, DLR, Tyne and Wear Metro, Merseyrail and Glasgow Subway), existing and proposed energy generation or extraction sites (including solar, wind, oil and gas and fracking), power stations including nuclear and all energy projects registered with the Planning Inspectorate – not just the Yorkshire and Humber CCS Pipeline.
This report is replacing our existing transport & energy related products for both residential and commercial, these include Groundsure Energy, Groundsure HS2 and Energy, Groundsure HS2 and Crossrail and the Groundsure Underground.
We are proud to announce that we will be launching an official accredited Law Society CON29M for both residential and commercial property transactions. The Groundsure CON29M Official Coal Mining Search – Residential is an official CON29M coal mining report for residential property, brought to you by Groundsure and licensed by the Law Society. The report answers all of the official 11 questions requested in the Law Society guidance notes 2018 and has additional information should the property fall under the Cheshire Brine Compensation area.

Q: Overwrite/save image as PNG without the 'Save as..' dialog I have a master document that is saved in a location. This master document has one big sprite. On running my script, multiple new documents are created with the sprite in various patterns. I'd like to save these multiple new documents as PNGs without needing to access the "Save As..." dialogs and close them.

    // This code is run on the master document to get the Path.

A: Even though you found a solution, I'd like also to answer your original question: how to suppress a dialog — this is sometimes useful. You can do that by changing a Photoshop app.displayDialogs property:
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; // no dialogs will be displayed

// your code

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR; // default value

It can be also DialogModes.ALL in cases you explicitly want to show UI.

Police: Teacher injured, transported to hospital after attempting to break up fight at high school
By Live 5 Web Staff
Published: Dec. 14, 2021 at 3:01 PM EST|Updated: Dec. 14, 2021 at 5:00 PM EST
GEORGETOWN, S.C. (WCSC) - A Georgetown High School teacher has been transported to the hospital after authorities say the teacher was injured attempting to break up a fight at the school on Tuesday.
Officials with the Georgetown Police Department said the fight involved two girls, a 15 year old and 16 year old, and the teacher was injured while trying to separate the two teenagers.
According to the Georgetown County School District, the fight happened during lunch and an SRO and other school employees responded.
District officials said during the incident, a staff member slipped and fell, and hit their head. The sheriff's office said a student also landed on top of the employee.
"The staff member was transported to Georgetown Memorial Hospital for further evaluation," district officials said.
District officials said one student was removed by police, and both are being criminally charged.
"Dependent upon the outcome of the investigations, students will receive disciplinary consequences as outlined in the district's code of conduct," school officials said.
"The teacher was transported to the hospital to be examined by medical personnel," Georgetown police said. "The case is still under investigation by law enforcement and administrative review by the School District."
Investigators say the girls are facing charges of assault and battery, and disorderly conduct.

Cave Creek is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The largest city it borders is Phoenix, Arizona. According to the 2010 census, the population of the town was 5,015.
In 2000, the state of Arizona, Maricopa County, and the town of Cave Creek bought Spur Cross Ranch, a 2,154-acre (8.72 km2) tract of Sonoran desert just north of Phoenix, for $21 million. It had unusual cacti, stone formations, and hundreds of pre-history Hohokam Indian tribal artifacts, and is now a Maricopa County park.
In the town, the population was spread out with 20.9% under the age of 18, 5.5% from 18 to 24, 24.2% from 25 to 44, 36.1% from 45 to 64, and 13.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 45 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 97.5 males.
In June 2009, Cave Creek attracted media attention when a game of chance was used to break a tie in a vote for Town Council. The drawing of playing cards led to the victory of 25-year-old law student Adam Trenk over incumbent Town Council member Thomas McGuire. The Arizona State Constitution allows a game of chance to be used to break ties.
"Where the Wild West Lives" was adopted as the town motto by the Cave Creek Town Council during a November 2013 meeting.
The portion of Cave Creek west of longitude 111°59'44.21"W is served by Deer Valley Unified School District and the remainder of the town by Cave Creek Unified School District.
Cave Creek residents use Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport or Mesa Gateway Airport to fly on commercial airlines. Deer Valley Airport, the closest airport to Cave Creek, is a very active general aviation airport.

This article examines a recent, internationally acclaimed popular novel from Africa, Gaile Parkin's Baking Cakes in Kigali (2009), to explore the ways the customary cultural demarcation between "highbrow" and "lowbrow" literature, between entertainment and critique, can be blurred so as to enable more efficacious interventions, whether conceptually or pedagogically, into the complexities of contemporary African societies. The article begins by interrogating the immensely suggestive paradigm of "entanglement" (Mbembe and Nuttall) with a view to proposing more adequate images of sociopolitical complexity via the notion of "folding" (Deleuze and others). It then offers examples of such modified paradigms by looking at the generic ambiguity of Parkin's novel, matched by the complex strategies it brings to bear on such fraught and intractable issues as FGM. The article suggests that this fusion of lightweight and serious, popular and conceptually challenging, is both an index of contemporary sociopolitical complexity in Africa and the site of the text's purchase on that very complexity.

Food Community growing spacesDrinking water on campus
Our Sustainable Food Policy Statement outlines our intentions to minimise the negative environmental, ethical and social impacts of our catering operations and to promote positive environmental, ethical and social practices.
The policy supports our Environmental Sustainability Policy and Plan, Sustainable Purchasing Policy and Environmental and Energy Management System.
This policy provides a framework for our Sustainable Food Action Plan, which we are currently updating in partnership with our catering contractor, Chartwells who operate Salfood and our Student's Union. Find out more on their Environmental Sustainability webpages.
Our progress so far
We have implemented a number of projects to support sustainable and healthy food on campus.
Sustainability at Salford: Salfood
Sustainability at Salford: Students' Union Catering
Community growing space - The Library
One of the suggestions for improvements from our Green Campus Group, was to develop a community growing space. We have been successful in achieving funding from the Salford Advantage Fund for this. We used ideas from a focus group to identify a suitable location (behind Clifford Whitworth library) and develop a design for the space that is accessible and reuses materials. The space has now been launched and it's ready for all students, staff and local community members to use to rest, socialise, study, or work. We are planning to use this space to grow a variety of plants, including herbs and even vegetables. In fact, the first herbs - parsley, chives and chervil - are already growing there!
We are keen to provide more growing spaces on campus that staff, students and the local community can get involved with, so if there is an area that you think would be suitable for this then please get in touch.
Community growing space - Mary Seacole
In the courtyard at Mary Seacole Building there are planters containing a variety of edible plants including chives, strawberries, sage, rosemary and fennel. These edibles can be harvested and used by anybody associated with the University, including in University catering.
The Users and Carers' edible garden was opened in 2013 by the then Vice-Chancellor Professor Martin Hall. The School of Health and Society have worked in conjunction with the Environmental Sustainability Team, the Users and Carers' Group and Incredible Edible Education to run 'Sow and Grow' events, where staff, schoolchildren and partners from the business community have worked in the garden, giving the planters some maintenance and planting new edibles.
Year 12 and 13 students from Oakwood Academy in Irlams o' th' Height have also planted vegetables and flowers, as part of the practical experience they need studying for their Open Awards Entry Level 2 in Horticulture, which also sees them working on local allotments.
We will be working to improve the Mary Seacole courtyard, as part of our Landscape Management Plan.
Community growing space - Dementia Hub
The Good-life club meets fortnightly at the Dementia Hub and is a living well group for people affected by dementia. Since the Hub was launched during Dementia awareness week, the focus has been on gardening, maintaining the outdoor space at the hub and finding spaces to grow edibles. With the help of the gardening team at the University and support from Incredible Education the group have planted seeds for herbs, beetroot, spinach, potatoes and bought young tomatoes, strawberry and other edible plants that have been planted up in baskets and tubs. A volunteer chef from "Vegetarian for Life" has joined the group at the Hub to demonstrate how to use the edible produce in the garden and prepare a healthy meal that the group will enjoy together.
There are always some jobs to do; for those who are not interested in gardening they can use the Hub space to chat, read, engage in craft activity or relax in the pergola in the centre of the garden which has evolved into being a special space for reflection. As the group develops and new members join, the impact of this work and people's experience is to be evaluated by researchers at the Institute in order to learn more about the benefit of these activities on living with dementia.
Sylvia, wife and care-partner for her husband Cliff who is living with dementia says "It's great, it's homely and it makes us feel relaxed. We feel part of a family!"
For any further information about the Good-life Club please ring Salford Institute for Dementia on +44 (0)161 295 2345
Drinking water on campus
We have over 20 drinking water refill points across campus so that you can reduce the number of plastic bottles you buy and use your own reusable bottles instead. You can find the locations on the campus map.
If you have any suggestions for other locations, please get in touch.

I was watching chat. The number of people having fun far outweighed the number of people complaining. A lot of people on my server complain about getting killed by other players anywhere, since we are pve, but most enjoy this type of pvp since what's the point in developing your character past the mortal stage if it's not to see if you can kill other players?
As of right now, we have 5 lvl 100 eidolons, and I assure you, they did not dominate the event.
That is because your server is apparently underdeveloped. Are there even any huge casher on your server? You might need to expierence to be killed all over again until you do realize that this is actually an issue. Just because this works fine on your server doesn't mean that it works fine on all.
Give it a week, then see how many people are giving the same feedback- everyone complains about events, temporary or permanent, at first. If you read through the thread, you'll see the first 7 pages are from before people could even enter the event. Those don't count- how can anyone know they won't like something before they try it? From the 8th page on, most of the complaints are about losing durability, followed by it being a pvp zone. After that, the complaints are about the 10g entry fee. A small number of people feel that it's an event for eidolons so it isn't fair (but that gets said about any area with pvp). And last, people think a detailed guide should have accompanied the release.
And as you can see, people complained even more AFTER they expierenced treasure trove. It is not too hard to predict the outcome of events.
It's not that the complaints on the first 7 pages don't count. they were just right in their opinion. The complaints before they tried out the event are exactly the same as after they tried it. Stop talking things down. What do you think were the people complaining about on the first 7 pages? Of course nothing else than getting spawnkilled, not having a chance against OP players and not being able to finish this event. They complained about the event being unfair, they were right. But sure, tell me what you think that the people complained about.
People who are happy with events often stay away from threads like this, and I don't blame them. I said I'd pass along a couple of the suggestions to the GMs, and how most of my server likes it and I'm getting flamed for that.
And there are many many many more people who don't like this event and didn't post yet. If everyone who doesn't like this event would poost then this topic would have 3-digits of pages. There are many people who just gave up their hope on R2 to post here. "Why should I post, they won't do anything."
You are one of the few people who like all the events and decisions apparently. People simply disagree with your propaganda. Why? Because they do expierence different than you. I have yet to see that you dislike anything. It's just that whatever your opinion is, it doesn't reflect the reality.
I do agree that perhaps durability loss is a bit much. It should stay a PVP zone, and it should retain the 10g entry fee. Otherwise it's just a race to see who kills mobs the fastest to make it to the top floor. Done in minutes with very little challenge, sounds like so much fun. No one is seeing this event as something that has potential. I would much rather suggest soul prints (for example) be added to the list of cash shop items we can get from there than work on trying to get them to change an aspect of the event that makes it what it is. But try I will, because whether I agree with a suggestion or not, I do pass along a summary of the more popular ones.
This event COULD be fair without bailing on the fun of it. There are already enough pvp events. GRBG, Sengolia, Dragonspine, Nimbus/Gotor, Showdown. You don't really need more events to find out who you can kill and who not. Why does it have to favor the strongest all the time?
Why can't it be fair for once? There aren't even balancer buffs. Not like the rewards of avernal or worldboss rewards for the rebirth quest aren't enough already. No, there just has to be 1 more event that favors the strongest (most of the time heavy casher).
While everyone else won't benefit unless their server is underdeveloped. Good luck to those mortals level 50 who have to fight against sloth, pride, fallen angel, ladder mobs and at the same time against other players. Die and get kicked down to floor 1 again. Die in 1 hit, that is all it takes me to kill most people. Reach the last level of treasure trove just to get killed by me and get send back to floor 1. Why? Because I can do so. How is that even close to be fair? This is the most unbalanced addition since avernal.
So what is left for the weak ones? For the noncasher? They won't be able to work on sperion, they won't win in avernal, they won't do well in seng, they won't get the worldboss kills for their rebirth quests, they won't get an unlimited gmut exchange anymore, they won't be able to farm as many badges as they need in seng and co - all they have is tamalan, guessing game and crypt to get their rewards and those are pretty luck based. They can always choose to start all over on a new and underdeveloped server for some time until they get merged with older ones to have all the fun they had again.
But your one person out of 100's of people that don't like this. Your argument is pointless. You have posted no proof to back up your claim to defend this event while others have posted several pics backing up that pvp should be eliminated from the event. You saying we are flaming you, well of course. Your not doing a thing to make a valid point other then sucking up to the GMs by sayings it's all great and grand. That makes you sound even worse. What is so great about paying over 30g to go in and have to repair all your gear at the end? There is indeed people that camp and spawn kill people. You need to get out of the GM shadows and get on other servers and see how bad things are out there. Your server might be a utopia but there are a bunch others that are total war zones. There are people that are literally that cruel and evil. Don't compare your one good server to the others. Not all servers are as peaceful as others. Come out to the S1, S2, S3 servers and see how bad things are out here. We got quite a number of very vulgar and dirty mouthed players. I ignore them my self but those people do exist, and they enjoy making people suffer in this event.
If you havent noticed, MemoryLane always pushes propaganda in this forum, that is why I always disagree with him/her.

This is a good event, but except for the fact that strong people are killing the weak and within 2 minutes, all my armor break... It cost more for this event than the outcome of it. PVP is fun but maybe you should have it where mortals can only attack mortals, scions can only attack scion and so on. If strong people are killing the weak, then it will be in their favor to win the race as well.
Imagine a new server that only has 1 scion or 1 eidolon, those people wouldn't be able to complete the quest.
There would be a few possible ways to deal with the issue.
#1 Remove the entire PvP from it.
#2 Make it like seng and add balancer buffs and remove durability loss. Also prevent that people fall down to floor 1.
#3 Make it like tamalan. Everyone is just as good as everyone else and give them a few skills like in survival. No one will be op, people can pick up fights. Plane doesn't matter.
Or remove PvP from all floors above floor 1. People will go on after they got their kills on floor 1 because they want to finish this event.
By the sounds of this thread.... I don't think something will be happening soon. lol. All the events will always have their ups and downs but they should consider the fact that "not all players are equal"... I guess this event is more of a challenge for all users (insert irony here) lol.
Removing PvP will most likely yield the best results over all. It would require the least amount of work to re-program and it would eliminate spawn killing. Removing the dur-break will not stop spawn killing which is only gonna be a problem till it is removed. This will in doubt put a serious buzz kill on the people that are pampered campers and like killing people, but that is the biggest problem and those people are the problem. Removing pvp from this event will solve the most issues. They can keep the 10g fee, but they must remove pvp for the best results.
I was wondering if it was just the 10g or it also cost crystal to open the chest. I'm happy I read some of the comments to see.
Gahh armor takes dmg...I'll pass on this event >.<"
Bottom line, remove PvP in Treasure Trove, coz yes "it favors the already OP players", thereby increasing gap between players.
"Some things you see with your eyes; others you see with your heart."
Well my server got merged 5 other servers so we got a lot of people there, the first day we had hundreds of people joining trove, today we had about 10-15 people left.
Now tell me where you get your information the majority of people like this event?
but I really LOVE TO SEE more ppl (even low lvl) given a fair chance at this.

Residential Weekend: YLSS at Wydale
Wydale Hall
Owned and operated by the Diocese of York, Wydale Hall is a Retreat and Conference Centre situated between Pickering and Scarborough on the edge of the North York Moors, and from 2023 is the venue for our annual Spring Bank Holiday residential weekend. This is a fun and friendly music-making weekend, led by our inspiring tutors, open to late starters of any standard. Members of YLSS have priority for booking places.
A Typical Weekend
In line with Goverment guidelines, we had to cancel our 2020 and 2021 residential weekends but were pleased to be back with a full programme for 2022 and from 2023 we'll be at a new venue, Wydale Hall. Here's a taste of the things we done in previous years... The weekend has a mix of playing together in a large group and smaller ensembles, as well as technique/sectional sessions. There are chamber groups for beginners and for more experienced players. Depending on the programme for the weekend, there might be other themed activities, for example one year we had professional latin dancers come and teach us a routine or two to get us into the mood for the tangos we were playing. There is also plenty of time to relax, explore the grounds, or whatever suits you.
Check-in is from Friday afternoon and musical activities start that evening with an hour or so of playing before and after dinner followed by relaxing drinks in the lounge. Saturday sees us focus on technique in sectionals, work in smaller groups on the options we've choosen and rehearse together as the full orchestra. Informal music making with friends and catching up with acquaintances old and new continues into the small hours.
Sunday follows a similar pattern before a final playthrough of the programme in the afternoon and "goodbyes" to those not staying for the Study Day on the Monday, more about that below....
Study Day
On the fourth day (spring bank holiday Monday) we spend the entire day working with just one conductor looking in depth at a substantial work for string orchestra. This is open to everyone, of any standard, who is keen to work on more challenging music. To give you an idea of the standard, in the past we've tackled works such as:
Shostakovich String Quartet no.8
Bach, Art of Fugue
Bridge, Suite for Orchestra
Mahler, Death and the Maiden
Dvorak, Americal Quartet
You can book just for the day, with or without accommodation on Sunday night, or add it on to the weekend.
Join us next time
Full details are now available on the website, and booking opens on January 1st, with priority given to Members. Keep an eye on the website if you are interested in joining us for this very popular and fabulous weekend.

Gulf OPEC producers to raise oil output if there is enough demand – Reuters
Citing OPEC and industry sources familiar with the matter, Reuters reported that Gulf OPEC producers could raise their oil output if there was enough demand following the U.S. action to end Iran waivers.
"The question is how fast and by how much will OPEC raise output. This still needs to be done after consultations with other countries," one source told Reuters and added: "It needs to be discussed and studied. There is an (OPEC) agreement that must be respected, we will not (raise output) immediately for sure."
Regarding Saudi Arabia's oil output, two sources said that the May output was not expected to be higher than April.

Kate Locksley is a singer of folk songs, broadsides, and other historical music. She is the alto(ish) in The Teacups, a vibrant vocal quartet based in Newcastle upon Tyne, where she studied Folk and Traditional Music as an undergraduate, and has recently completed a Masters degree based around the study of social protest in broadside ballads. Kate has also performed with an all-female unaccompained trio, Wychwood, and was the voice amongst the fiddle and guitar of Kev Lees and Dave Wood, in Night Fall until late 2018. She also occasionally performs solo, feeling that unaccompanied singing is both the ultimate vulnerability and a source of enormous strength.
Growing in confidence during her studies at Newcastle, Kate has sung at venues of all shapes and sizes, from a flooded basement, to a dimly lit underground tunnel, to folk clubs and festivals up and down the country, to Hall One at Sage Gateshead. She will usually sing anything you like, anywhere you like, if you ask her nicely.
August 2018: We're really sad to let you know that now our 2018 gigs are done, my band Night Fall are going our separate ways. We love working together, we're really proud of our music and we're really pleased with what we've achieved, but the logistics of being geographically widespread, and being pulled in various directions by other commitments has proven to be a little too much for us to continue at a pace that we'd like.
You can also scroll down a little to see some videos of the band from 2017. We really, *really* appreciate all of the love, encouragement and support you have all shown us over the past couple of years. It means a huge amount to us, so thank you very much!
2018: **NEWSFLASH**: The Teacups are crowdfunding for their third album. Visit https://tinyurl.com/teacupsthird before Friday 7th December 2018 to see what rewards are on offer!
This list will be updated as and when more bookings are confirmed. If you'd like to talk about a booking, please get in touch via the email address at the bottom of this page.
The Teacups are booking for an album launch in the Autumn of 2019, so if you are interested in a date, please contact pete@haystackmusic.co.uk.
More sample tracks from The Teacups and Night Fall, as well as unaccompanied solo tracks are available to listen to for free at https://soundcloud.com/kate-locksley.


Interviewed 2013. The challenge of designing avatars.
I think when you're thinking about the avatar for a game, the character in the game, the person you're going to be, it really depends on the communication you're trying to have. So, in Journey we really wanted it to be about two players who would meet and have an authentic experience with one another. They would genuinely connect, which in a lot of online games you see lots of people and they're - they're customized. You can read their name. You can chat with them. So, you get a real sense of who this person is, but it's not necessarily as authentic or as deep of a connection as you might have just walking on a quiet hike with a person that you maybe just met. Um, I've definitely met people while traveling who, you know, you have a brief encounter on a trip, you know, you're going to go climb a mountain and you go to the group and there's a couple people there. You spend the day with them. And you really get to know each other in a way. It's very different from if you were to just bump into them in the grocery store or at the office. Um, it's a different experience. And so forming the character for that game, we wanted it to be gender neutral. We wanted it to be, uh, open and inviting to anyone from anywhere. And because the game is language free, to be expressive without requiring a specific cultural background. Um, and that was a very, very strong influence on the way the character was designed. Um, its animation, its look, uh, the sounds that it makes, everything about it. Um, when you look at a game like, like Katamari or the game that I'm working on now with Kata, uh, which is still unannounced, the characters are more about expressing in a paradigm or a, or a - a trope, you know. They're about expressing a feeling of childhood and playfulness, of youth, um, curiosity, and um, whimsy. And so they can be a little block or a little apple with legs and arms and like a funny smile. And they can be, um, very, um, inspiring and general in the way that when you look at a, you know, a gaggle of little kids walking from, from school to the bus, you know, you see all the little backpacks and the - the bobbly heads and the way that they walk - they walk and stuff. And you think, wow, there's just so much potential there, you know. These characters are about expressing the potential of, of curious - curious young minds, you know. Um, and so the - the - the process of designing them is very different. And in a way it feels different. It feels very less, it feels less serious. It feels more, um, more - more fun. Um, and I think that that informs the way the prototypes are working and informs the way you interact with the space. Um, I love of the idea of - of thinking of building an avatar as - as a sculptural project. You know, it's almost like painting a figure or sewing up a little doll, you know, really trying to put yourself into that character and imagine them and how they would be. And on Journey actually as we working on characters outside of the main character, we actually did create puppets out of paper for the fish type characters and float them around in the office and see how they would move and think about how they would animate, because we wanted them to be basically cloth brought to life. And, uh, if you approach the character design problem from that perspective, what is the feeling? And then you incorporate that feeling in the design. I think you get that synergy between the avatar and the player and the concepts in the world.
How Do I Write Female Characters?


After so many weeks of preparing for this Last Hurrah for Summer Holiday with friends, time has come for us to explore Baler, Aurora. Heard so many nice things about Baler specially surfing. But I didn't know that Baler has more to offer than surfing. And that's what I'm going to write now.
The only bus that goes to Baler is GENESIS BUS. They have two options of getting to Baler, either the Joy Deluxe Bus or the Ordinary Tourist Bus. We wanted the Deluxe bus. The bust left at 12:00 midnight and arrives at around 5:00 am. They provided us with blankets, water and biscuits. They even have a stewardess in the bus. WiFi is also available. That's luxury!
Arrived safely at Baler and took a picture of the places you can visit and things to do in Baler.
Arrived at Pacific Waves Inn, we were going to stay there for one night. For 8 people in one room, we payed Php 3000.00. Not bad!
This is the view from outside our room. Lovely!
The beach is called Sabang Beach, this is the best place to surf specially for beginners.
We spotted Mahdox Surf, and decided that we wanted them to teach us how to surf.
We arrived pretty early and we did not want to waste our day sleeping, we had breakfast, lots of coffee to keep us awake the whole day. What better thing to do to spend your day is go on a DAY TOUR.
Instead of hiring a van, we hired a Tricycle instead. We paid Php 800.00 for 4 pax for the whole day tour. Very Affordable! It may not be the most comfortable but for the price that will do.
appropriate at that time so we just stayed outside and took some pictures.
Right across the church is the houe of Dona Aurora.
She was the wife of our former President Manuel L. Quezon.
Everybody was talking about these falls. The ride would take around 30 minute tricycle ride from the Baler Church. Once you arrive there, you will still need to walk for few kilometers since our tricycles cannot make it because of the terrain. We didn't mind walking at all. We felt that it was really fun!
the landscape made us more excited to see what it's like.
made by the people. The place was indeed beautiful!
Getting to the Mother Falls really was an adventure. The fact that we needed to cross these rocks to get to the falls, was so much fun! But be careful as some rocks can be quite slippery.
And here it is, Mother Falls! Just amazing!
Walking here indeed was worth it.
Water was cold but it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.
I didn't know you can eat as much as you want for Php 100.00. Well, now I know I can here in Baler!We were told by so many friends that we should try this one out. We loved the food.
It was delicious and for 100.00? We hit the jackpot!
Back in 1735, Baler was hit by a tsunami that killed many people. This family in the photo survived the tragedy by climbing up this hill. And this monument was made to commemorate the survivors of the tsunami.
Not far from Ermita Hill is Diguisit Beach and where a nice rock formation stands.
Make sure you stop on this spot to get a nice view of Diguisit beach. This is also perfect for picture taking. Just like what we did! Lol.
You can go through this rock formation and take some pictures.
I think we came in at a right time when it was low tide and just picturesque!
My friends and I just having a great time!
Close to the rock formation was our last stop and these falls. Compared to Mother Falls, the hike was much shorter and smaller. Yet, the fun never ends!
We all had a great time with our tour and in the end we realized that we did well on our first day.
Stopped again and took more pictures. It was a successful day for the 8 of us!
We arrived on the 31st of May and what a treat for us to witnessed their Flores De Mayo. The road was blocked temporarily to give way to them and so happy that this tradition still lives.
Late afternoon and we all went for a swim. The waves here in Sabang were different to the normal waves since Baler faces straight onto the Pacific Ocean. The beach goes shallow for a long way which is good and facing the waves of Sabang Beach made us more excited for our surfing class the next day!
Found Jelly Fish, but didn't seem to sting this guy.
Our day 1 went quickly but what we did will surely last a lifetime.
Thank you so much and my apologies for the wrong information stated in my blog. I've already updated the information.
Will definitely plan a trip very soon and would like to visit the tourism information when I get there.
Regarding the tricycle, unfortunately I already forgot who took us to different places. All I can remember was he was parked nextto Bahia De Baler and approached us as walked around.
Once again, thank you very very much!
namiss ko bigla Baler nung nakita ko to.nice!
Hi Antonio, Thanks so much … Indeed was a great to place .. Missing the place too!
Hope to travel with you soon Sir.
This is Corics I also followed you on twitter. Actually we've been to Baler last June and we really had fun and we have visited some of their tourism spots. We got bitin on Surfing and we are planning again to visit on August 24-26 as it is a long weekend and going to Dinadiawan is also in our itinerary… any inputs on that place if you have? thank you and when is ur plan visiting Baler again?? thanks also for the info and photo's.
Hi Corics, Thanks for following me on twitter. Glad you had an awesome time at Baler. We wished we could surf more too. I believe it is a long weekend so go with your plan of visiting baler. Will surely visit the place anytime this year or early next year. I checked on the Dinadiawan and it looks stunning. We havent been to that beach though due to we dont have much time. but this will surely be in my itenerary next time I visit.
Take care and God Bless Corics!
Hope to meet you guys on the next trip somewhere.
By the way, we are also planning to visit Borawan Island in Quezon Province by next month. We are still trying to check the accommodation and all.
Dear you should we need that! See you soon! Miss you dear Alyna!


During the previous cloning of the fibrillin gene (FBN1), we isolated a partial cDNA coding for a fibrillin-like peptide and mapped the corresponding gene (FBN2) to human chromosome 5. (Lee, B., M. Godfrey, E. Vitale, H. Hori, M. G. Mattei, M. Sarfarazi, P. Tsipouras, F. Ramirez, and D. W. Hollister. 1991. Nature [Lond.]. 352:330-334). The study left, however, unresolved whether or not the FBN2 gene product is an extracellular component structurally related to fibrillin. Work presented in this report clarifies this important point. Determination of the entire primary structure of the FBN2 gene product demonstrated that this polypeptide is highly homologous to fibrillin. Immunoelectron microscopy localized both fibrillin proteins to elastin-associated extracellular microfibrils. Finally, immunohistochemistry revealed that the fibrillins co-distribute in elastic and non-elastic connective tissues of the developing embryo, with preferential accumulation of the FBN2 gene product in elastic fiber-rich matrices. These results support the original hypothesis that the fibrillins may have distinct but related functions in the formation and maintenance of extracellular microfibrils. Accordingly, we propose to classify the FBN1 and FBN2 gene products as a new family of extracellular proteins and to name its members fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2, respectively.

An Eclectic New York Loft Where Every Piece Has a Story
Designer Deborah French transforms her industrial apartment with treasures from her travels
Photo: Dana Meilijson
Back in the 1970s, artists were drawn to New York's Tribeca neighborhood for the sprawling, still commercially zoned lofts: You could get away with living and working in one—and do it without breaking the bank. It's the reason sculptor and interior designer Deborah French ended up in the apartment she still resides in today. "I could roller-skate from one end to the other!" she recalls. All that open space could feel cavernous and overwhelming, but French, inspired by building exteriors, crafted a series of rooms complete with 1920s casement windows and doors to give the expanse more intimacy. "I love the idea of feeling like you have a house within a house, giving the feeling that you are outside while still actually being inside," she says.
When it came to decorating the loft, French turned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art book Painting in Renaissance Siena, 1420–1500 for guidance. "The sense of color from that time and place was so alive and sophisticated," she says. Warm gray walls and woven abaca rugs are soothing counterpoints to the vibrant, patterned textiles found throughout the home, most of which came from French's travels to Morocco, or from Uzbekistan, delivered in charming brown paper tied with string. Those far-flung locales are just two outposts on a long list of places French has visited, including Italy, India, France, China, and Afghanistan, gathering pieces for her home at each stop. "These countries are integral to who I am and how I have personally evolved both aesthetically and spiritually," she explains.
For French, it's all about mastering the mix—of cultures, eras, textures, and colors. "I work with beautiful objects, which speak to one another no matter where or when they were created. I believe that with an eye and good taste one can sense what works, as long as every piece can stand on its own," she says. The result is elegant but not intimidating. "My friends and family always feel very welcome and happy to be here, especially when we gather for a meal," says French. "Sometimes they even stay on to the next one, as once inside, no one ever seems to want to leave." Having spent the better part of four decades in the space, she should know.

In the living space of interior designer Deborah French's eclectic Manhattan loft, she fashioned a pi-shaped sectional out of three custom mattresses upholstered in lemon-yellow damask and a wood platform. The pile of colorful pillows hails from Uzbekistan, and the cocktail table had a past life as a 19th-century Indian grain grinder.

Vegetarianism is sexy, especially on Jared Leto and Ellen Page.
The two stars were named PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities of 2014, the organization announced on Thursday.
The 42-year-old Oscar-winning actor and the 27-year-old actress beat out sexy greens-loving stars including Jessica Paré and Woody Harrelson.
"Why are vegans made fun of while the inhumane factory farming process regards animals and the natural world merely as commodities to be exploited for profit?" Page tweeted a few years back.
Past Sexiest winners include Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Olivia Wilde and Tobey Maguire.

Q: Identifying normalisation form Here's the relational schemas i have:
OfficeCustomer(office, customer, employee)

office, customer -> employee
employee -> office

This is my current analysis,
Minimal super key is (office, customer), non-key attribute employee is fully functional dependent on (office, customer) only. So this should be minimally 2NF.
Is (office, customer) -> employee -> office considered transitive?
Need help to confirm the highest normal form for the above relational table. Thanks.

A: There is more than one candidate key.
That's the key to the rest of the answer.
(I'm assuming this is homework, so I won't spoonfeed any more and let you first think it through.)

With the South African mining industry, the main contributing source to the national GDP presently under severe pressure with labour disputes, resulting directly in a weakened Rand which since July has been in steady decline to the USD and all major currencies and listening to Chris Hart, a Leading South African Economist, this spiral is not going to stop soon.
What it does mean is the Hospitality industry, especially tourism, is booming. If Chris Hart is correct the currency could be heading towards the 2009 levels of over $10:1 which in traveler lingo means great value to be attained on the ground in South Africa especially for those coming from countries with strong currencies.
It's an absolute paradox and leaves me dumbfounded that earlier this year Cape Town hosted the "Invest in Mining Conference" at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, which hosted 7000 delegates drawing favorable international response, injected healthy income into the city coffers and that of the local hospitality business and has lead on to solid investment to the benefit of the whole of the South African economy only to see the mining industry being brought to its knees and the tourism industry benefiting from people taking advantage, rightly so, to the currency position.
In 2011 South Africa received a record number 12 500 000 people to its shores. Given the world's depressed economic situation coupled still with the desire to travel and the current currency position, South Africa will be looking to break further records. There is a drive toward responsible tourism in all sectors together with a country embracing Greener and Eco-friendly practices together with such diversity in one country to attract an array of different tourist interest's, South Africa is poised to see a huge upturn in tourist traffic and the dividend to the traveler, exceptional value.
Universal Problems Exist When Travelling in South Africa.
GPS Tours is here is guide you in SA.
Never for a moment think of this blog article as a problem endemic to South Africa. Our Fauna and Flora are endemic but what does grow is Credit card and bag theft syndicates, problems which exist worldwide. South Africa however remains porous to elements taking advantage of our under resourced security systems, criminals posing as tourists, undesired by any country, people perpetrating crime right beneath our noses with impunity.
As a tourist to South Africa, especially Cape Town you will be considered extremely unlucky to encounter any serious crime which hits world headlines. Well that is if you don't "go seeking" problems, entering high risk areas which can be said for most cities and places around the world.
As a Tourist Guide to many tour groups of various nationalities who come and enjoy South Africa, I always reiterate the need to be aware at all times of your belongings, especially when using your credit card and where you leave your bag(s).
You can not presume everyone you hand your credit card too is going to rip you off. What you can do is firstly; inform your bank or credit card provider that you will be visiting South Africa. In any event from legitimate purchase problems to theft, the reporting process will be made easier. Keep your Credit Provider contact detail in a convenient place for you to access.
Always keep your credit card in your sights. Most vendors including restaurants should have mobile card machines to process your card in front of you. Do not hand your card to anybody whom must still go and fetch the machine or in a shop where the machine is under a counter side or in a back office. Follow your card and the person if this happens. This action will be acceptable to anyone with honest intentions.
The golden rules at ATM cash machines in South Africa, always use an ATM in well lit and populated areas such as a shopping mall opposed to an on street ATM. Be conscious of those in the immediate vicinity and weigh up if it's safe, go with your gut feel. If ANYBODY approaches you and says one word to you while you are processing the transaction, hit cancel straight away and walk calmly away.
Suitcases, Camera cases and ladies, please, take care of your handbags or purses. Do not leave your handbag resting on the back of your chair in any restaurant. It's recommended you take a smaller purse in the evenings, which can sit on your lap easily at a table. It is also better to have a bigger purse resting at your feet instead of over the back of a chair. If you leave the table ask someone to take possession of your bag or purse in your absence.
The Soccer World Cup was so successful but unfortunately it started a wave of international crime syndicates which have found good reason to stay on in South Africa with professional operating skills, preying on innocent tourists by devastating holidays in South Africa by stealing and fleeing into thin air only to make their victims gasp.
GPS Tours prioritises the welfare of visitors and their well being and promotes vigilance in combating any scourge. We are always here for you.
The South African Airways (SAA) is introducing a new check-in baggage policy, announced on Wednesday 1st August 2012.
For those of you who like to travel as they say "with everything including the kitchen sink" then take note of the new SAA baggage restrictions. The new baggage policy will come in from 5th September 2012. The present policy of total weight of a passengers checked luggage will change. The new checked baggage policy will continue to take into account the size and weight per item however will restrict the number of pieces of baggage a passenger may check in. This policy will also be influenced by the route and class of travel. Excess baggage, or where the baggage exceeds the weight or size allowance, would be charged at a flat rate per piece of luggage. This is a change from the current policy, where excess baggage is charged per kilogram. Individual pieces of luggage cannot exceed 32kg in most cases however check the table of restrictions on www.flysaa.com and check with your travel agent too as luggage requirements may change when flying with a SAA code-share partners.
The excess baggage will be charged at a flat rate per rule broken, per piece. This means that if a piece of baggage is both overweight and oversize, two excess baggage charges will apply. Weight/size restrictions apply to all baggage pieces, including additional pieces over and above the baggage allowance.
Excess baggage rule – weight. An excess baggage charge will apply for each Economy Class bag weighing over 23 kg, but less than 32 kg. The one exception is for travel to/from South America, where an Economy Class passenger is permitted to take two pieces of baggage that each weighs no more than 32 kg.
SAA cannot check in any bag weighing more than 32 kg, for both Economy and Business Class passengers. This is due to baggage handling restrictions at airports. Any piece of baggage weighing more than 32 kg will either have to be repacked (in order to weigh 32 kg or less) or will have to be taken to the SAA Cargo counter and checked in as cargo. Cargo rates will apply.
Excess baggage rule – size. An excess baggage charge will apply for each piece of baggage that exceeds the maximum dimensions as stipulated in SAA's baggage policy. The maximum dimensions are 80 cm x 60 cm x 18 cm = 158 cm (62 inches).
Excess baggage rule – number of pieces. An excess baggage charge will apply for each piece of baggage over and above a passenger's baggage allowance. These additional pieces must still adhere to SAA's weight and size restrictions. An additional excess baggage charge will apply for any additional piece of baggage that does not comply with these restrictions.
For detail on baggage allowances for each travel destination under the new piece concept and for up to date information concerning luggage please view the table of restrictions on www.flysaa.com or consult with your booking travel agent.

Morgan ap Athrwys or Morgan Mwynfawr ('Morgan the Generous'; fl. ) was a king of Gwent and Glywysing (i.e., Morgannwg) in southeast Wales. He was the grandson of Meurig ap Tewdrig and the son of Athrwys ap Meurig.

Reign
Morgan was the grandson and probable successor of King Meurig. Lloyd argues that his timing and joint rule over Gwent and Glywysing makes him the probable namesake for the later realm of Morgannwg (whence modern Glamorgan), although his descendant Morgan the Old is another possibility. Through his grandmother Onbraus ferch Gwrgant Mawr, he may have been heir to the kingdom of Ergyng as well.

The charters, contained in the Book of Llandaff, include a number of grants which he is said to have made, to the church of Llandaff in the time of Bishops Oudoceus and Berthguin.
Other charters in the book, of the time of Berthguin, are attested by him, and an account is also given of ecclesiastical proceedings taken against him by Oudoceus in consequence of his murdering his uncle Ffriog Though the Book of Llandaff was compiled about the middle of the twelfth century, at a time when the see was vigorously asserting disputed claims, it nevertheless embodies a quantity of valuable old material, and is probably to be relied upon, in the general view it gives of the position of Morgan.
He appears as owner of lands in Gower, Glamorgan, and Gwent, and, since the latter two districts were afterwards ruled over by his descendants, was probably sovereign of most of the region between the River Towy and the River Wye.

He seems to have been succeeded by his son Ithel, before Ithel's many sons divided their patrimony among themselves.

Lois Lowry's novel The Giver is coming to theaters this August, and today the first official trailer hit the internet. The Giver is about the life of Jonas (played by Brenton Thwaites), who lives in a colorless world filled with conformity and contentment. When Jonas reaches the age of 12, he is given a life assignment as the Receiver of Memory from an elderly man otherwise known as The Giver (played by Jeff Bridges). Jonas then comes to see that the real world is not as pleasant as his previous utopia. The Giver, which won a Newbery Medal in 1994, has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The adaption will also star Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgård, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift. The Giver is for an Aug. 15, 2014 release.

I was reading something recently that explained a phenomenon that occurs when we are lost in an area without landmarks: when we are lost and try to walk a straight line, we will undoubtedly veer to one side or the other and find ourselves right back in the same place where we started. Some circles might be small, some might be larger and take longer to get back to the starting point. But, it is almost a rule.
Without some way to guide ourselves, without some landmark or way to focus on a path (and sometimes even in the presence of these things) we come back around to the beginning.
How telling is this? I can tell you parents often feel "lost" having walked in "circles." Sometimes it even comes in the form of "is this the best it gets?" which suggests we have gotten to a point where there is not a way out; that we should just camp out in the woods and consider ourselves lucky that we found some nuts and berries along the way (or simply consider that our children will never learn to behave differently).
One more story, then I will get to my point. I once found myself lost in deep woods (flooded at that) with a friend who was much more seasoned in getting out of strange places than I (he graduated from a military institute and would not be found dead without a compass). He said, "the way out is that way" (pointing ahead, but looking at his compass). Pick a tree along this line and walk to it. Once we get there we will pick another tree along the line and repeat the process until we get out." Brilliantly simple.
In changing behavior, we need to pick "trees," guiding points, so we don't walk in a circle. We have to stay focused not only on the goal (the edge of the forest), the direction we have chosen (the compass heading), but also check-points along the way. Sometimes I think we find the line, have the direction, then forget which tree we were walking towards because we finally had a way out, confident we were going to change things, but not diligent enough to keep our eye on the tree or even the compass.
If you come up with a plan for changing a certain behavior, have check-points. Review your implementation of the plan frequently enough to make sure you stay on course. Think about how the behavior has changed (or not). Check your line.
Use me and my posts if your compass seems a bit off.

Recent En Banc Activity
By David Taylor on December 30, 2020
Here is an update on recent en banc activity at the Federal Circuit in patent cases. Highlights include new petitions in two cases raising questions related to the presumption of validity, motions for attorneys fees, and the propriety of Rule 36 judgments in cases appealed from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; a new response to a petition raising a question related to patent eligibility; a new amicus brief in a case raising questions related to venue and Hatch-Waxman; and the denial of a petition in a pro se case. Here are the details.
In WPEM LLC v. SOTI Inc., WPEM asked the en banc court to review the following two questions:
"When a plaintiff is not aware of any reason to question the validity of an issued United States Patent, is that plaintiff allowed to rely on the statutory presumption of validity when filing a patent infringement lawsuit?"
"While invalidating the claims of a validly issued United States Patent requires clear and convincing evidence, is a District Court allowed to base a finding of exceptionality under [35 U.S.C.] § 285 for an inadequate pre-suit investigation of patent validity using the lesser standard that the patent is likely invalid when the plaintiff is not aware of any reason to question validity?"
In Waterblasting, LLC v. Iancu, Waterblasting asked the en banc court to review the following question:
"Whether the Act of 1984, Pub. L. 98-620, title IV, § 414(a), Nov. 8, 1984, 98 Stat. 3335, 3362, amending the language in 35 U.S.C. § 144 to provide that this Court shall issue 'its mandate and opinion' instead of 'a certificate of its proceedings and decision,' requires this Court to issue an opinion, precluding Rule 36 affirmances without opinion, when reviewing appeals from the United States Patent and Trademark Office."
New Response
In EcoServices, LLC v. Certified Aviation Services, LLC, EcoServices filed its response to CAS's petition for en banc review. In the petition, CAS argues the decision undermines post-Alice jurisprudence. For support, CAS cites to Judge Dyk's dissent alleging the decision diverged from the court's precedent. CAS also maintains that the opinion's non-precedential designation "will not contain the damage."
In response, EcoServices argues that "[t]he panel did not hold 'inapplicable' any aspect of this Court's eligibility doctrine . . . . Rather, it just applied established law to answer the 'directed to' question." Additionally, EcoServices alleges that the claims-in-suit are "not directed to an abstract idea at all." Lastly, EcoServices states that this case "would be a poor vehicle to reconsider Section 101 en banc even if this case did present any of the contested doctrinal issues over which the court has sometimes disagreed."
New Amicus Brief
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) filed an amicus brief in Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The petition in this case asks the court to consider whether a generic drug manufacturer has committed acts of infringement in a judicial district by submitting an Abbreviated New Drug Application seeking approval to market an infringing generic drug throughout the United States, including in that judicial district. In its amicus brief, PhRMA argues that "[t]he fragmented litigation required by the panel decision reduces judicial efficiency and significantly increases the costs of Hatch-Waxman cases." PhRMA supports en banc rehearing so the court can consider a question "that was addressed only implicitly by the panel: Whether 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b) governs § 271(e)(2) actions."
